Why Tomato is a Fruit
Do you know that tomato is not a vegetable, but a fruit?
To really figure out if a tomato is a fruit or vegetable, you need to know what makes a fruit a fruit, and a vegetable a vegetable. To differentiate between them ask yourself a question, "Does it have seeds inside?" If the answer is yes, then technically, that is a FRUIT. This, therefore, makes your tomato a fruit. This situation also makes cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts etc all fruits as well. Vegetables, such as, radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds and that is why they are grouped as vegetables.

Now don't go looking for tomatoes next to the oranges in your grocery stores; fruits like tomatoes and green beans are usually (alas, incorrectly) referred to as "vegetables" in most grocery stores and cookbooks. Source(s): http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090829123631AAtcIja

Carrots - Purple or Orange?
Before the 17th century almost all cultivated carrots were purple. The modern day orange carrot wasn't cultivated until Dutch growers in the late 16th century took mutant strains of the purple carrot and gradually developed them into the sweet, plump, orange variety we have today. Before this, pretty much all carrots were purple with mutated versions occasionally popping up including yellow and white carrots. These were rarely cultivated and lacked the purple pigment anthocyanin. It is thought that the modern day orange carrot was developed by crossing the mutated yellow and white rooted carrots as well as varieties of wild carrots, which are quite distinct from cultivated varieties. Some think that the reason why the orange carrot became so popular in the Netherlands was in tribute to the emblem of the House of Orange and the struggle for Dutch independence. This could be, but it also might just be that the orange carrots that the Dutch developed were sweeter tasting and more fleshy than their purple counterparts, thus providing more food per plant and being better tasting. They get their yellow-orange color from beta-carote. Beta-carotene metabolizes in the human gut from bile salts into Vitamin A.

In many liquor stores, you can buy pear brandy, with a real pear inside the bottle. The pear is whole and ripe, and the bottle is genuine; it hasn't been cut in any way. How did the pear get inside the bottle?
It grows inside the bottle. The bottles are placed over pear buds when they are small, and are wired in place on the tree. The bottle is left in place for the entire growing season. When the pears are ripe, they are snipped off at the stems.
